Katy Perry's Dad: I Still Text Russell Brand

Katy Perry’s dad, Keith Hudson, says he has no hard feelings towards his daughter's ex-husband Russell Brand and admits they still text each other.

First of all, old people texting is weird. Who taught the baby boomer generation how to send a text, because it sure wasn’t their kids, my mom still thinks we have to correspond via carrier pigeon. Secondly, doesn’t Katy Perry’s dad hate Russell for causing his daughter so much heartache?

“There are no hard feeling towards Russell – I just received a text from him the other day in fact. He is a wonderful and smart guy,” says Hudson.

Oh is he THAT wonderful? Hey Dad, haven’t you heard Katy’s song ‘Part of Me?’ “You can keep the diamond ring!” Oh never mind, that song “wasn’t” about Russell, I forgot.

However, Katy’s dad does shed some insight into what went wrong in the Perry-Brand marriage.

“Her career got really busy and she did not get to see that much of Russell – it was just one of those things.”

Yeah, “being a celebrity” it’s just “one of those things.”

Katy’s divorce will be finalized this June and apparently Katy has moved on as she’s been spotted with French male model Baptiste Giabiconi, but her dad hasn’t heard anything about this new guy just yet.
